#16 expertise

I might not be an expert physically, but I am an expert mentally. I know a lot about soccer, because my boyfriend never stops talking about it. He always has something new to tell me, and I find it very interesting. Soccer is a very known sport, and is hated on by all those who cant play it. It takes a certain set of skills to play it.

You have to be agile and know how to move your feet to get past your defender. You also need to know how to shoot the ball to make it go in where you want it too. This is where many people get confused, because it takes a certain touch to make the ball curve and to place it right.

There are many positions in soccer. There is eleven to be exact. Here are the basics you have your defense, your mid-field, and your offense. Most importantly you have your keeper. Soccer like anyother sport is a sport with many rules and three referees. One main ref in the field and two sideline refs who usually help with offsides and fouls committed.

 A official soccer game is 90 minutes long with a fifteen minute half. Only three substitutions and no time outs. Posistions can get much more complex depending on the role that you play in the team. If you are only a finisher who scores the goals you are a striker. If you are a more versitile player you are a mid-fielder which makes you control the pace of your team. If you are a good anticipater you are nore of a defender because you can see where the opponet is going and stop them. These are some of the few things that I have been taught about soccer and something I consider myself good at.

I am against cigarette smoking because they are cancer sticks. They mess up your lungs, teeth, gums, liver, voice, and heart etc. So why do something that can do so much damage to your body? And can  will kill you. Cigarettes are trash, the company itself says they are bad for you. Today in society smoking cigarettes is looked down on because everybody knows they are bad for the body, so there is no excuses for smoking cigarettes. They are made with the worst chemicals and even the things we see in our lives. For example; toilet cleaner, the sole of our show, methane, cat pee, bleach, rocket fuel, and many other things that are not supposed to be entering the human body. The killer though is nicotine. Nicotine is the chemical that gets you addicted to those suckers. Its the chemical that makes you want to smoke another cigarette and keep smoking them. The urge can be so unbareable that people go crazy! In some cases people lose limbs, which is pretty gnarly. So be smart, and dont smoke cigarettes unless you wanna end up like this person.

#19 Being Charitable

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is to advance cures and help children with cancer. Also, treatment and prevention of catastrophic diseases in children. No family ever pays St. Jude for anything. They provide patient care, improve diagnosis, and prevent diseases. Everyday a Doctor at St. Jude Hospital, their goal is to improve children's life and to safe a innocent life and a loving family that just wants their kid to live a long time in this world.

This charity is important to me because helping innocent lives and children will make the child, family, doctor, and the volunteer giving happy. Helping a child that desperately need helps with his or her life will make a difference. Think about it, a good, caring, and loving family that can't afford treatment for their child, your donation will help a life. I myself made a 5 dollar donation to the charity to help the kids in need. So be a good citizen and help a child that is in dreadful situation.

#23 Typing Test #2

The typing test I liked the most were the classic tales. It gave you a certain time to finish typing the paragraph. Space invaders was too easy. The classic tales, was more challenging.
